News flash: The LA Rams needed to add speed to their second level of defense. So they take South Carolina linebacker Ernest Jones with their critical 103rd pick of the 2021 NFL Draft in the closing minutes of the crucial third round, after drafting Louisville WR Tutu Atwell earlier in the second round.
